While seeking a nude model for his life drawing class, Zain Zook, sculptor, finds Rose, an itinerant model. Rose embodies all of the physical attributes he has been envisioning as the figure for a new series...The Lady and the Towel. The arranged modeling sessions are put on hold by a gigantic summer storm. Zain also takes in the flooded-out neighbors with their four sets of twins. All are stranded by washouts. While waiting for the water to recede, Zain has time to photograph all the poses he needs for the new series. As they are work together, each is becoming aware of the other on a different level. Zain and Rose have to go over the hills on an antique tractor, dragging a hay trailer to get food for the humans and all the critters. Rose hitches a ride out on a helicopter before either can sort out thier feelings. Their lives take numerous turns before a second chance presents itself.
